Open It To The Public! The U.S. Army Ordnance Museum At Fort Lee Virginia
Open It To The Public! The U.S. Army Ordnance Museum At Fort Lee Virginia
The Issue
We Want The Museum Building Open To The Public!
This Is One Of Best Kept Armor Collections In The World & Is Up There With The Museums In Europe & Russia!
Currently The Public Is Not Permitted But We Footed The Bill To Build This Facility & As Tax Payers We Should Have Access To The Collection!
Our Tax Money Was Used To Build This Museum & Is Used To Maintain The Collection & Grounds On The Base!
These Military Museums Like Ft. Benning Also Need More Funding For Upkeep & More Vehicles Can Go Through Restoration To Create More Exhibits, All Of This Could Happen Just By Allowing The Public Access!
Ticket Sales Or Even Just Asking For Donations To Enter, Lifetime Passes, Tours & Last But Not Least Tickets Sales To Special Events Like The Ones Held In Bovington, UK (Tankfest) For The Public Could Generate Millions Of Dollars Yearly That Would Help With Maintenance, Educational Tours, Restoration Work, Upkeep & So Much More
The Museum Is Considered To Be One Of The Best Tank & Armoured Vehicles Collections!
To See A Collection As Good & Large As This One You Would Need To Travel To Europe Or Russia!
The U.S. Army Currently Uses Them For Training Our Soldiers Which Is Wonderful For Monday -Friday But We Have A Right To View These & Be Allowed To Enter This Museum To View The Armoured History Going Back Over A Hundred Years!

U.S. Army – Ordnance Training Support
Facility, Fort Lee Virginia
The U.S. Army Ordnance Training Support Facility (TSF) is the first Training Support Facility of the U.S. Army and is part of the U.S. Army Museum Enterprise and the Center of Military History.
The mission of the U.S. Army Ordnance TSF is to support Soldier training, education, leader development and to facilitate the preservation of historically significant artifacts and equipment from the colonial period to the present for research and development.
The TSF includes 120,214 square feet of classrooms, administrative areas, restrooms, arms storage vault and consolidated entry and reception area.
The facility also includes climate controlled high-bay material storage and standard height materials storage areas to house artifacts for the Army Ordnance Division.
Special foundations were required to support the two 190 Ton guns Atomic Annie and Anzio Annie that are housed in this space.
This facility houses collections from Aberdeen Proving Ground, Redstone Arsenal, Picatinny Arsenal, and Watervliet Arsenal.
These collections were moved and consolidated as a result of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 2005 decisions.
The collection comprise obsolete, prototype, experimental, first production, and field modified foreign and American materiel that relate to the history of the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps and the evolution and development of American Military Ordnance materiel.
Using this collection, the Ordnance TSF will introduce Soldiers to the history, heritage, and pride of the U.S. Army and Ordnance Corps, building on the Army Profession and highlighting the service’s traditions, heritage and values.
This project included site development, utility connections, lighting, paving, parking, walks, curbs and gutters, storm drainage, information systems, landscaping and signage.
Heating and air conditioning are provided by a self-contained system.
The U.S. Army Ordnance TSF is not a replacement for a public accessible museum; the facility is a mission-essential training requirement that directly supports TRADOC’s core function of education and is exclusively for training Soldiers and supporting research and development.
It Is Not Open To The Public & We Need To Change That Because We The People Paid For It!
The Ticket Sales Not To Mention Since Most Vehicles Still Run They Could Hold Events Like Those In The UK & Europe (Tankfest)!
The Potential To Generate Income Could Insure The Future Of The Collection!
Opening It To The Public Could Help Restore Other Vehicles That Are In Storage Awaiting Restoration Work!
By Opening The TSF Facility At Fort Lee Could Save Millions Of Dollars In Tax Revenue That Could Then Be Diverted To Other Priorities Because It Would Self-Sufficient!
